On behalf of Interfaith Assistance Ministry and The Storehouse, thanks to the city of Hendersonville and everyone who brought donations of food to the recent city shred day. We received close to 600 pounds of food that will be distributed to Henderson County families coming to us in need. These donations are greatly appreciated!

A very special thank you to all those who have encouraged me and my family throughout these trying weeks of my husband's illness and passing, by sending cards, flowers, bringing food, offering prayers, stopping by; we knew that you were there for us whatever the need might have been.

Also for the emergency responders, the Park Ridge Health staff, our special friend, Dr. Tryon, The many kindnesses showed us at Elizabeth House, the hospice volunteers with Four Seasons, and the dedicated workers at Universal Healthcare Fletcher. Every one of you have gone the "extra mile" for us to make my husband's last weeks, days and hours the very best they could be.

Last but not least, for my pastors Ron Glass and Don Chapman and my precious "extended family" at First Alliance Church. Every visitor brought cheer and strength to us all. May the Lord bless you all!

With grateful hearts,

Kay Robinson and family

On behalf of the 2013 senior class of Hendersonville High School, I'd like to thank you. As president of the class, I've seen firsthand how hard this year has been for my classmates academically, socially and emotionally. And, as a citizen of the world, I know how hard this year has been for many people. This makes me all more appreciative of your support. You've rallied behind us at sporting events, patted us on the back for honor roll, and applauded our hard work at the long-lived tradition of the senior play. So thank you.

As we end this chapter of our lives, we set out into the world as art teachers, creative writers, nurses, actors, service men and women, lawyers, firefighters, forensic scientists, and world travelers. We will reach our present goals because of the foundations laid at Hendersonville High School and in the community. Some of us will adventure far, while others choose local living. We'll aspire to different heights, work for different causes, and achieve different successes. But, no matter where we go to or how we spend our lives, we will always look back with admiration and gratitude to the high school and town that gave us so much. So to the parents, mentors, fans, donors, bosses, friends, neighbors, alumi, and supporters who make us proud to be Bearcats- thank you.
